Soulmates//Elijah Mikaelson

•Eight•

Elijah walked out of the room and noticed Hayley leaning against the wall. She stood up straight once she noticed the Original.

"Elijah. What's happening in there?" Hayley asked stepping forward. Elijah took a tiny step back feeling as though his personal space was being invaded. Hayley didn't seem to notice and just stood there awaiting his response. He didn't reply straight away as he looked around for Alexandra.

"Nothing they can't handle. Did you happen to see where Alexandra went?" Elijah asked cautiously. Hayley rolled her eyes at his question. Elijah noticed this however and grew confused.

"No I didn't. Do you have-" Hayley started but was cut off when Alexandra walked back down the stairs. Elijah looked up and smiled at the young witch. Alex returned it before walking past them both and towards the kitchen.

"Excuse me Hayley, I have a few things I need to discuss with Alexandra." Elijah said politely. He sent her a kind smile before stepping around her and walking after the witch. Hayley huffed in annoyance before turning and leaning against the wall again.

Elijah walked into the kitchen and smiled as he watched Alexandra reach for the cookies that happened to be on the highest shelf.

"Are you just gonna stand there laughing at me, or are you gonna get me my cookies?" Alexandra asked as she crossed her arms and stood on the flats of her feet. Elijah chuckled before walking over and collecting the cookies, bringing them down to her level.
"Thank you."

"Are you okay? You seemed really distracted back there." Elijah wondered. Alexandra jumped up onto the island bench, swinging her legs back and forth. She debated on whether or not she should tell him. Alexandra took a deep breathe in before signing.

"Davina...um-" Alexandra started. Elijah looked at her, patiently waiting for her sentence to finish. He didn't want to rush her, he wanted her to trust him enough to tell him. "Davina is my younger sister."

As the sentence blurted out from her lips Niklaus and Rebekah rounded the corner entering the kitchen. Their eyes all widened in shock at the new found information. Alexandra's eyes widened at the same time, not expecting Niklaus and Rebekah to walk in.

"You know where she is." Niklaus concluded. Alexandra looked away and that was all the confirmation Niklaus needed. He vamp-sped towards her and grabbed her by the throat, pushing her up against the wall.

"Niklaus!" Elijah exclaimed while running towards them. He yanked Niklaus off of Alexandra and she coughed, the air returning back to her lungs.

"She is linked to Hayley, you idiot." Rebekah added. Niklaus signed while glaring harshly at the witch.

"Tell me where she is!" Niklaus growled angry. Alexandra scoffed and crossed her arms in disagreement.

"Hell no. You are just gonna use her for your own gain. She's only sixteen, I won't let you bring her into all this." Alexandra yelled back. Niklaus pointed at her but didn't know what else to say. He understood that all she wanted to do was protect her own, hell, he would have done the same had it been Elijah or Rebekah. Niklaus stepped forward and Elijah moved a little, ready to protect her if need be. Niklaus sent him a look to which Elijah backed off.

"I promise you little witch. I won't hurt her, I just need to dismantle Marcel long enough to overpower him. Please." Niklaus begged. Alexandra thought about it for a moment and signed. She couldn't do it, no matter how much she wanted to trust him, she couldn't not when it came to Davina.

"I'm sorry Niklaus. I can't tell you where she is." Alexandra spoke softly. Niklaus signed but nodded understanding her reasons. Without saying anything else he left the kitchen. Rebekah smiled.
